Boston Marathon Attack, Our Modern World

Best wishes to the victims, their families, the first responders and investigators: Two Three are confirmed dead and 140+ wounded when a pair of crude bombs went off near the Boston Marathon finish line. An eye-witness with a military background stated that most of the injuries he saw were to the lower half of the victims’ bodies and the smell of cordite/smokeless powder or similar explosive. Ball bearings or steel shot were reportedly scattered by the blast(s). At least one of the devices appeared to have been emplaced in the bottom of a trash can. The non-simultaneous detonation of the two devices would indicate something akin to cheap kitchen timers being used as detonators (i.e. not a command detonation). From the video, the charge couldn’t have been more than a couple of pounds. It being April 15 (tax day), Patriot Day and the way the ‘Black Helicopter crowd’ (I’m looking at you Alex Jones) is already quacking “false flag”, I’m expecting some sort of “paranoid-patriot militia”/skinhead/Freeman Movement tie in, definitely a non-state actor at any rate. The low level of sophistication smells like a hillbilly/redneck/skinhead/moron type of perpetrator (just my .0002 cents).

I like Josh Marshall’s observation on the recent rant by Joe Scarborough: “I’m not sure Scarborough realizes there’s a difference between a wealthy person who pays a lowish tax rate and wants to raise rates and one who pays a lowish tax rate and want to make them lower. Seriously, Joe, you’re being a moron.”

Sanctimony Joe’s Bigot BBQ in Broken Arrow continues their sinful, backstabbing ways without remorse, apparently. The difference between them and the Kansas City location is that the KC location actually makes really good barbecue and seeks to distance itself from the BA Oklahoma Joe’s Bigot BBQ while damning it with faint praise:
